Don't believe everything you hear, especially if it is coming from Stacey King. He makes Quinn look like a darksider.

Like we (Pacer fans) have a real problem with dirty players, Reggie was a very dirty play.

For God's sake you guys sound like a bunch of John Walls policing who and who not is a dirty player. I take it that you guys don't have a collective memory of the Davis brothers, Charles Oakley, or Dennis Rodman.

according to the announcer he always does this (glad hes finally acting his age now)

some of the comments on youtube are disturbing

Every guy that played PF in the 90s would watch that and wonder why Posey was ejected.

Ray Allen's probably the biggest "milk drinker" in the NBA.
And we have a clip of him being..not so nice. Obviously some guys are dirtier than others, but Posey is typically just pretty rough. I don't mind it, honestly.

people who think posey is dirty weren't around for 80s and 90s basketball

I saw my first game in the 1960's...and while this is somewhat true, there is a difference between hard fouls and physical plays versus a dirty play like turning a guy on his head like Posey did to Deng.

The real men of the 80's and 90's didn't do that. There was a code to their physical play. They might break your arm or even your neck with an occasional clothesline, but they generally avoided hitting guys in the air who had them clearly beaten. It was the mark of a woosy to do that. It's the kind of cheapshot a girl would do...and guys like Oakley and Dale Davis didn't do that.

if the pacers are going to be a winning NBA basketball team, they will need guys like posey. that was true in the 80's and 90's and is still true. it's not enough to be tough, you have to be tough and mean at the same time.

I think I'd take a nice guy like Blake Griffin over Posey 8 days a week.

From Mike Wells Twitter:

Posey on not shaking Griff's hands, "He tried 2, I declined. He already gave us 40 and I’m going to shake his hand and thank him. I'm good"

Where the F was this when EJ drove the lane for that monster dunk? Of all the times to shy away from contact, let alone a tackle...can't win for losing.

Hibbert's classy AND more intense about defense than Posey.

This is not an either or game. Ditto Griffin as mentioned, just ask Lamar. And of course we can't forget Hands Bro either.

Every foul he ever drew?

Come on, he wasn't Stockton but he pulled plenty of schoolyard "tricks" in his day.
